What are the best medical documentaries on Hulu? You will get to know, if you read insider Monkey’s latest article about this topic. Personally I really like to watch films about medical things. No matter if it is a series like Emergency, or documentaries, and the compilation was published by Insider Monkey was totally new for me. I checked out the list and have already began to watch the first one.

The biggest breakthroughs happened in the early 20th century, when antibiotics were discovered and vaccinations started to be regularly given. In the last 50 years, medicine has become more focused on managing the conditions of some diseases instead of hopelessly trying to figure out how to beat them completely. Does this mean progress in medicine has slowed down? Not at all. If you take a look at the advancements in the past decade, you will realize that each year there is another major breakthrough in treating a certain disease.

Now without a further ado let’s see what Insider Monkey has investigated for us. We have picked three of the best medical documentaries on Hulu from their list.

The first one is A NORML Life. There is no doubt that marijuana has a certain medical significance. This documentary tries to explore that significance further, investigating the role of marijuana in medicine through interviews with doctors and patients. The second documentary is Of Two Minds. People don’t talk enough about bipolar disorder and often disregard the fact that this disease affects more people now than ever. Of Two Minds tries to change that by exploring the lives of three people who are living with bipolar disorder. The documentary gives insight into their lives and they struggles they face each day. The third documentary on Hulu is Trinidad. The small town of Trinidad, located in Colorado, is looking to become the “sex change capital” of the United States. This documentary follows Dr. Marci Bowers, a surgeon from the town who had sex change surgery herself, as well two of her patients, giving viewers insight into the process of transition.
